ROLE OVERVIEW:

We are seeking a highly skilled designer with expert-level proficiency in Autodesk Civil 3D.

In this role, you will be responsible for developing complex, data-rich BIM models for large-scale infrastructure projects.

You will manage dynamic engineering data to ensure design accuracy, consistency, and efficiency from conceptual stage through to construction documentation.

We are currently involved in the delivery of the Site Ion Exchange Project.

SIXEP Waste Management Treatment Facility- Enabling Works Scope

You will be specifically working on the Enabling works package to support the development of a treatment facility for SIXEP and SCP secondary waste.

The works will include service diversions development of service and drainage schemes earthworks vehicle tracking road layouts developing new schemes connecting into existing infrastructure producing foundation drawings and details.
